In July, the Co-op’s Board of Directors hosted its orientation with consultant Todd Wallace from Columinate (a consulting cooperative). We have an orientation each year to introduce and review the Board’s role in the organization and the monitoring process used at the Co-op. The orientation day assists us in improving our collaborative skills both with each other and with Liza Tedesco, our General Manager.
The Board of Directors will be stepping into a more communicative role with owners and the community by writing updates posted on the CNFC’s blog, monthly email “From the Board Room” & we might even, on occasion, take over the Chico Natural Foods Cooperative social media accounts, Facebook and Instagram! Follow us on Facebook @Chico Natural Foods Cooperative & on Instagram @cnfcoop to keep apprised of our latest sales and outreach news.
We’d like to thank Julie DeMaggio for her year of service on the CNFC Board of Directors. She has stepped down from her position on the Board. We will be appointing a director to fill the vacancy by October. The appointment will be a 7-month commitment, lasting until April 2020. If you are interested, please send an email to bod@chiconaturalfoods.coop.
